Temple is charged with murder in the shotgun shooting of Belinda Tracie Temple on Jan. 11,1999. She was eight months pregnant, expecting the couple's second child.

Scott and Temple began flirting at school happy hours and over school emails months before Belinda was killed, Scott said. Scott and Temple worked at Hastings High School in the Alief School District. He was a football coach and she a teacher.

She said the two had sex three times before Belinda Temple was killed. The two also met three days before the shooting, which was the first time Temple told Scott that he loved her. She said she felt the same way, according to her statements to police. Scott said the words in the statement were not her words.

Scott and Temple were engaged in January 2001 and married in July of that year. Spousal immunity does not apply in this trial. Scott can testify to incidents that occurred before they married.

Before Scott's admonition, the morning was marked by confrontational questioning from Siegler, who showed Scott copies of the emails Scott called, "silly, flirty, immature banter."

"I've admitted to flirting in email," Scott said.

Although Scott and Temple were having an affair before the shooting, she said that she saw herself more as a friend trying comfort Temple after Belinda's death.

After the admonition, Scott cried on the stand as Sielger tried to elicit testimony about how Belinda Temple would have felt about the affair.

Defense attorney Dick DeGuerin objected to the questionsand Scott did not have to answer them.

Earlier in the day, the exchange between Siegler and Scott was heated, with sidebar comments from Siegler causing several outbursts of laughter by audience members.

The outbursts led the judge to send jurors for a break while he scolded the audience.

"We're not going to have that," Shaver told standing audience members outside the presence of the jury.

DeGuerin objected vigorously and often to Siegler's questions. He began to rehabilitate Scott's testimony when he cross-examined his client's wife before lunch.

The trial continues today in Shaver's court. If convicted, Temple faces a maximum sentence of life in prison.
